Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- 2
Unroll the phyllo dough and carefully cut each sheet in half crosswise. Keep the phyllo sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
~5 min - 3
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
~3 min - 4
In a separate small saucepan, gently warm the honey with the red pepper flakes and cinnamon. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
~5 min - 5
Take one half-sheet of phyllo, brush lightly with melted butter. Fold it in half to create a long rectangle. Place a small spoonful of crumbled feta cheese on one end. Fold the phyllo to create a triangular shape, tucking in the sides as you go, similar to folding a flag. Repeat with remaining phyllo and feta.
~10 min - 6
Place the phyllo triangles on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with remaining melted butter.
~2 min - 7
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
~15 min - 8
Remove from oven and immediately drizzle generously with the spiced honey. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and fresh mint.

Tips
- Work quickly with the phyllo dough and keep it covered to prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking.
- These bites are best served warm, allowing the honey to drizzle beautifully over the crispy phyllo and warm feta.
